Pastor Dan Slagle encourages us to consider the Biblical mandate to live a life characterized by peace – not anger. By embracing the disciplines of listening, waiting, and letting go, we can set ourselves apart from the rage that characterizes our world – and point others to Jesus.
Bible Teacher Steve Carter offers a Biblical call to contentment in the midst of a world where ‘more’ is never enough.
Humans were not created to experience broken relationships, but sin gets in the way. Bible Teacher Jared Darby teaches us that the first and most important way the gospel heals relationships is that it restores the one relationship that matters the most, our relationship with God.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein explores the significance of giving in our spiritual lives. Does God get our first fruits or our leftovers? He challenges Faithbridgers to take the Malachi 3:10 Challenge and step into the 10% tithe – and to experience the blessings that will follow.
Bible Teacher Steve Carter leads us on an exploration of healing for grieving hearts. Grief is a universal experience and a feeling that we can trust God knows well. Through Steve’s own experience and Biblical wisdom he helps us to see the invitation to draw near to God that we can find in our grief.

Pastor Dan Slagle teaches out of Genesis 45, where Joseph forgives his brothers. We all face the difficult decision of whether or not we will forgive those who have wronged us. Only through God’s power can we choose the better path, as Joseph did.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein takes us through the journey of Joseph’s brothers to Egypt in Genesis 42-44. Here Joseph tests his brothers and discovers that they have repented of the way they treated him. Like them we can leave our guilt behind through the rhythm of awakening, confession, and transformation.
Bible Teacher Steve Carter takes us on a journey of faith through Josephs’s imprisonment and on to his rise to power in Egypt. Steve calls us to remember that God is creating character in us if we will only persevere in the midst trials.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein preaches out of Genesis 40, where Joseph experienced yet another season of hardship and injustice. We’ve all experienced discouragement, but Pastor Ken reminds us that God never wastes a season, however difficult.
Bible Teacher Steve Carter preaches from Genesis 39. Through the story of Joseph and Potipher’s wife, Steve explains how work can shape, form and reveal so much about our spiritual intimacy with God.
Pastor Ken walks us through the beginning of Joseph’s story. Joseph’s family was full of disfunction and pain that tainted everyone and everything. What do we do when our families hurt us in ways that feel irrevocable?
Pastor Ken leads the congregation in a kitchen-table talk about Nehemiah, and the mission and future of Faithbridge.
Bible Teacher Jared Darby sheds new light of the story of the Good Samaritan. He calls us to examine our own answers to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” We can only meet the challenge of loving those around us when we understand that God first loved us.
Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins teaches out of Genesis, helping us to examine the story of Jacob wrestling with God. Jacob believed that he could claim God’s promises by the power of his strength. Duffy reminds us that, although God is never afraid of our questions, we can never bend God to our will – we […]
Bible Teacher Scot Pollok teaches out of Genesis 33 today, guiding us through the story of Jacob and Esau’s reconciliation. When we realize the grace and forgiveness that we have received, we are able to extend that to others. Forgiveness is a difficult and powerful choice that we can make because of God’s great goodness […]
Through the story of Jacob and his uncle Laban in Genesis 31, Pastor Dan Slagle shows us a classic example of an unhealthy relationship. As Christ followers, we’re supposed to have mature, honoring, life-giving relationships with others. But far too often we live lives that are enmeshed; it’s not clear where I end and you […]
Through the story of Jacob’s two wives, Leah and Rachel, Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins helps us wrestle with the question: What do we do with cosmic disappointment? When we’re honest with God we can build a relationship strong enough to withstand doubts that come from disappointment.
Guest Bible Teacher Jessica LaGrone challenges us to step into intentional mentoring relationships. Through the stories of Donatello and Michaelangelo and Elijah and Elisha, she reminds us that the greatest legacy we leave behind us may be a person.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein reflects on twins Jacob and Esau. As they battle it out for their Father’s Blessing, we see how critical a Father’s approval is. Whether we have a great dad, a terrible dad, or an absent one, we can all find inner healing when we accept God as our Father and root […]
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein preaches out of Genesis 24 about Isaac’s journey to find a spouse. He reminds the singles in the audience that God’s path to love and partnership may surprise us, but it’s always best.
This week Bible Teacher Jared Darby takes us through Genesis 22, where we discussed what it is like to be stuck in a season, and how a life of freedom cam be found even there. Darby challenges us to apply Abraham’s perspective to our own lives and realize that out plans pale in comparison to […]
Bible Teacher Prateek Jacob preaches out of Colossians for a special Mission Sendoff Sunday. He shares what it looks like to live a life walking in the Lord’s will and the generational impact that one act of obedience can bring.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein preaches out of Genesis 19, drawing relevant lessons from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. He reminds us that sin will find creative ways into our lives, often through our habits, friends, and surroundings. The truth is that life with Jesus is the most fulfilling life we could find. Choose Him and don’t look back!
Worship Pastor Lizi Bailey brings a Mother’s Day message out of Ephesians that everyone can relate to. Just like the new church in Ephesus, God is building us into a people of peace and unity. He calls us to join Him in this endeavor, making Jesus the cornerstone of our lives and world.
Scot walks us through the Abrahamic Covenant, showing us how God’s promise to be faithful cannot be broken. Through Abram we see that God welcomes a messy, dynamic relationship. Anyone who wonders if God could really love them can take comfort from God’s commitment to His people.
Jared Darby brings us a message out of Genesis 16. He acknowledges the intensity of moments when God seems to fail us. Jared reminds us that although God may not meet our expectations, he always has a plan. Our job is to wait, obey, and trust.
Dan Slagle brings a message on truth-telling from Genesis 12. Lying has been a trap many humans have fallen into – from the very beginning. Even Abram, one of the most faith-filled people in the Bible was susceptible. His life shows us just how destructive even a “little” lie is. But if we embrace truth, we will find grace and forgiveness waiting in the person of Jesus.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein preaches reminds us that God is the eternal initiator, always taking the first step toward us. Are we responding like Abram in Genesis 12, by taking a step towards God in return? Or do we continue to pray for direction, miracles, and more without obeying the last word God gave us? God calls all of us to believe, trust, and obey!
Beth teaches out of 2 Corinthians 4 and encourages us to remember that we serve a God who cannot leave death alone. Although we may be pressed, we are not crushed. In the darkest times, a community of believers can help us remember God’s past faithfulness. He always brings a resurrection.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein explores Jesus’ response to suffering and death in the story of Lazarus. Jesus takes part in our sorrows and heartaches. He takes them to the cross and promises to be near in our darkest moments. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, the hope that we have truly changes everything.
Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins teaches out of Genesis 11, asking us to consider how often we strive to forge our own paths and identities. Instead, we should walk humbly through doors God has already opened for us.
Jared Darby teaches us that Noah’s world isn’t so different from our own. Even as Noah and his family were saved from the rising waters, they had to reckon with the sin they brought along – in each of their hearts. We are in the same predicament. The wooden vessel we look to isn’t the ark but the cross. And Jesus is standing ready to deliver us if we turn to him.
Steve Carter explores the dynamic between Cain and Abel – and the way that God experienced the generosity of each. He reminds us that God’s words to Cain, to know himself so well that he can rule over sin, also apply to us. Understanding that there is no scarcity of God’s goodness should free us to celebrate with one another and to be generous towards God.
Pastor Ken looks at the enemy’s deception in Genesis 3 and how his tactics really haven’t changed in how he seeks to lead us away from the Lord today. He points out how the enemy seeks to separate us from God, how we can arm ourselves again those attempts, and how God is always better than any temptation put in front of us.
In Sunday’s message Pastor Ken reminds us of the reasons that God created marriage: marriage is a vehicle for forever friendship, a place for safe sexuality, and a means of sanctification. He calls us to stand against culture’s superficial view of marriage and embrace the rich relationship God always intended.
Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins begins our new series in Genesis. Guiding us through Genesis 1, Clay reminds us that it all begins with God. Both the story of creation and our lives with Him. We can find encouragement in the fact that since it all begins with God, He has a purpose for each of us.
Steve walks us through the Psalms and teaches on the seven Hebrew words for worship. He reminds us that if we want to experience God and His presence, His power, and His love it’s through worship. With all humility, curiosity and gratitude we are challenged to respond.
Guest preacher Jared Darby brings a powerful word on prayer. Prayer isn't just a box for Christians to check. It's a chance for us to adopt a Kingdom perspective, making Jesus the foundation of our lives and longings.
Pastor Ken reminds us that as believers, our lives should be characterized by things like kindness, empathy, availability, and generosity as we respond to God's free gift of grace. But the Bible doesn't just call us to give generously, but to do so cheerfully!
Bible Teacher, Clay Scroggins reminds us that God can work amazing changes in our hearts when we surrender every part of our life to him. While we may not feel that we have much to offer, God cares more about your availability than your ability. As the story of the loaves and the fishes shows us, you never know just what God can do until you bring everything you have to Him! The church and the world need you - and the first step is surrender.
Pastor Ken reminds us just how much we need community. And that we have found community in other believers - if only we will move towards one another. Faithbridge is a place with groups, teams, and ministries that you can plug into - not so you’ll have one more burdensome thing to keep up with - but so you'll have a community to help you carry the burdens of life with!
Pastor Ken calls us to take a step into greater discipleship through Bible Study. Without a plan we are unlikely to succeed. Ken shares his daily Bible Study practice - the SOAP method. By following the steps of: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer we can find a rhythm that will see us through the ups and downs of life.
Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins reminds us that we have access to the throne room of God through prayer - a priceless privilege purchased for us by Jesus' death on the cross. God wants us to come to Him with whatever is on our hearts - the little things and the big things. Don't take this gift lightly - come before God with your needs, your praise, and your thanksgiving!
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein shares a special Christmas Eve message from Matthew, reminding us that the virgin Mary bore a son and called him Immanuel – God with us. What a gift God gave us to freely receive — Jesus Christ, the Son of God, sent to dwell among us and give us the gift of life.
Bible Teacher Dan Slagle reminds us that forgiveness is something we need to practice - giving and receiving. It’s one of the purest acts of grace we can experience and once we have received forgiveness there’s really only one appropriate response: to forgive as we have been forgiven.
Worship Pastor Lizi Bailey reminds us that pursuing humility lets us live in truth. Pride deceives us, but true humility - not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less - positions us to receive from Jesus. Humility keeps us open to God and others.
Steve reminded us that when we want to know what God is like, we should look to Jesus. As a church body, every thing we do should be a representation of our God as we are called to be Christlike. That way when people look to us, they can see Jesus, the image on the invisible God.
Clay challenged us to live up to the call of Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." In the season of holidays and family gatherings this can be especially challenging. Whether or not we like someone, by focusing on our own behavior we can model the love of God.
Michael McDowell calls us to examine our response to God's generous gifts in light of Luke 17. God is always lavishing his gifts on us - but when those gift change, do we respond with anger or with trust in the Gift-Giver? To move our hearts from selfishness to trust we need to look for the gifts of God in our lives and express gratitude!
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein explores the question, 'Why can't we get a grip on greed?' Jesus talked about money frequently, urging us to recognize that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. We are only stewards. Ken invites everyone to take the Malachi 3:10 challenge over the next 90 days. You can do so at faithbridge.org/m310.
In Acts 20, Paul tells us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Steve challenged us to understand the heartbeat of scripture and orient our life around Jesus. Our time, talent, treasure, testimony, and thinking should reflect Him.
Bible Teacher Ben Stuart preaches from Mark 4 diving into the parable of the sower. If we want to be the men and women who God calls us to be, we need humble hearts that are fertile ground for the words of Jesus. Let us accept not just the kingdom but the King Himself!
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein delivers the final sermon in our two-year series on the Life of Jesus. At the end of Acts, Paul is finally in Rome but imprisoned! Despite his circumstances, Paul continues to be a powerful witness for the resurrected Christ. We have the same chance. If we allow it, God will use our lives to His glory - whatever our age, station, or circumstance.
Bible Teacher Jessica LaGrone brought a powerful message from John 2. Diving into the story of the wedding in Cana, Jessica shows how desperation can be a fruitful place. We were made to reach the end of our own efforts - and turn to Jesus. The miracle you need may begin when you confess your need to Jesus.
This Sunday Clay taught out of Acts 27, exploring a question that everyone wrestles with. Why does God allow us to go through storms in life? Seasons of testing are one way that God teaches us to cling to him above all else. God does not let us walk through these times alone; He is with us. The outcome that he is after is a heart that trusts Him more than ever.
In a message from Acts 26, pastor Dan Slagle looks at Paul’s evangelical account before King Agrippa and how Paul goes about sharing Jesus with him. The scriptures show us that God is opening doors for sharing the Gospel with others and how our own personal story is powerful in sharing who Jesus is and what He’s done for us on the cross. When God has done something so transformative for us, how can we not share that with others?!
The greatest gift we can give any human is an introduction to the God who loves them. We are each surrounded by people who don't know the Lord - and it's easy to be intimidated at the idea of sharing our faith. Steve reminds us that the Gospel frees us and covers us. And so many others need that same good news.
Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins calls us to recognize the idols in our lives. He does not encourage us to love our children, jobs, and friends less - but to love Jesus more. We all have idols in our lives: any good thing that we make the ultimate thing is an idol. Only remarkable sacrifice can destroy an idol. And only Jesus can ultimately satisfy. His death on the cross is the path to freedom and victory.
Founding Pastor Ken Werlein challenges us to submit all areas of life to Jesus. In a message from Acts 19, we saw that while in Ephesus, Paul did more than teach and preach. As the Spirit of God moved, the people turned from evil and occult practices. Just as they burned their evil possessions, we must be willing to completely eradicate anything that stands between us and Jesus. Ken reminds us no matter the sin, Jesus can lead us to freedom and victory.

Dan Slagle taught out of Acts 18. Priscilla and Aquila give us a good example of a marriage where the husband and wife are on mission together. Even though we don’t have any words of Priscilla and Aquila recorded, their actions reveal that God was the primary focus of their lives. By prioritizing their relationship […]
Disillusionment is one way that God refines His children. If we are willing to take an honest journey and cling to Jesus, disillusionment will lead us somewhere beautiful. Peter's life shows us that wholeness in Christ integrates both knowing and feeling the truth of the gospel. It only comes after we shed our illusions about who Jesus is. He is committed to proving our faith genuine.

Paul doesn't mock the worldview of the unbelievers at Mars Hill. Instead he begins by seeing the good in them. By following his example, we can show unbelievers that the cross make sense of their pain and struggles. In this way, we can reach our family, neighbors, and city with the Good News of Jesus!

In Acts 16, God uses an earthquake to allow Paul and Silas to show their jailer what true, life-giving, soul-restoring, Christian community looks like. In the modern era where we are increasingly isolated, life-changing community isn’t just a perk of the Christian faith, it is an essential part of being a follower of Christ.

Founding Pastor Ken Werlein explores the theme of God's will in Acts 16. If you've ever struggled to know God's will - take comfort. Even Paul got it wrong sometimes! And obedience can be difficult - but it's not usually complicated. God will not show us our next step until we obey what He has already revealed. Through prayer, you can find the strength you need to move forward today!

At the end of Acts 16, Barnabas and Paul disagree and part ways for the benefit of their ministries. Author and Bible Teacher Gary Thomas warns us that the devil can't steal our faith, but he can render us ineffective. Holiness isn't just avoiding sin; it's living a fruitful life. Jesus gives us many examples of such discernment. He walks away from toxic people who would distract from His ultimate mission. We can and should do the same!
Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins continued our series "Life of Jesus, A.D." with a message out of Acts 15. Paul encounters Judaisers who preached a "Jesus +" Gospel: Jesus PLUS good behavior, Jesus PLUS good works. It's easy for us to adopt this mindset today. Duffy reminds us that the key to our salvation is grace alone.

Duffy Robbins shares out of Acts 14. Paul and Barnabas shared the Gospel so well that many Greeks converted. Our witness is always more effective when we engage a person on their own terms. Duffy encourages us to understand other perspectives in order to share Christ more clearly.

Pastor Scot teaches out of Acts, calling us to see how God has demonstrated his love for us through history. Paul’s sermon, recorded in Acts 13, reminds us that God’s plan has always been redemption. Then and now Jesus brings freedom from insecurity, shame, and fear. What is holding you back from accepting this amazing […]
Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins teaches out of Acts 12 today, sharing a valuable lesson from the death of Herod. It was Herod's weak sense of identity that led to his downfall - and Clay puts a tough question to everyone: "Who has the power to tell you you're enough?" Answer that, and you will know who has power in your life! Are we connecting our identity to successes, failures, or rejections - or are we willing to give God the final word? Clay calls us to believe that what God says about us is the most true and the only safe place to anchor our identity.

Bible Teacher, Clay Scroggins brings us a word on prayer. In Acts 12, an angel frees Peter from jail; when he rushes back to his community, the incredulous Jesus-followers can't believe that God has answered their prayers. Clay encourage us to pray with a faith that expects miracles. At the same time, we must recognize that prayer ultimately "works" when it makes us more like Jesus.
Pastor Scot Pollock brings a powerful word from Acts 11, showing us that when we experience suffering, what we believe about God matters more than ever. If we will remain faithful during troubled times, suffering can become our Pulpit: the place from which we share our testimony. It can become our Passport: giving us access to people and communities we would otherwise be unable to reach. And finally, Scot explains that suffering can become our Path to Christ-likeness: something that the Christians in Acts practiced as they faced brutal persecution for their faith.

Pastor Dan Slagle reminds us that when God asks us to do something we don't want to do, He is never asking us to do it alone. In Acts 11, God asks Peter to step way outside of his comfort zone. Pastor Dan shows us how we can learn from Peter’s experience enable us to say "yes" to the hard things God asks us to do.
Worship Pastor Lizi Bailey reminds us of God's radical love for outsiders through the story of Cornelius and Peter. In Acts 10, we see God making his message to the Gentiles abundantly clear: "Yes, I want you in my family!" As followers of Jesus, we are God's welcoming committee; are we doing a good job? Lizi calls us to expand our hearts for the unsaved, treating everyone like an image-bearer and potential family member.

Founding pastor Ken Werlein exhorts our graduating seniors to seek out Christian community and to be that community for others. Just as the faithful Barnabas encouraged Saul, we all need people who cheer us on from the “balcony” of life. Whether you are 18 or 88, Jesus calls you to FIND a Barnabas and empowers you to BE a Barnabas.

Hector Ramirez shows us that we don't have to go on a mission trip to live a missional lifestyle. We must always be ready to preach the Good News, whether we are in a different country or in our own neighborhood.
Pastor Ken takes us back to Acts where Saul, after arresting and murdering Christian’s, has an encounter with Jesus, changes his ways—and his name—to become a leader to the very people he used to persecute.
In Acts 8, Philip was an ordinary man who had a seemingly ordinary encounter and a seemingly ordinary conversation that eventually led to extraordinary, history-changing blessings — all because he was obedient to the Holy Spirit. Like Philip, God wants to use you because you know the only One who can change and heal and save to the uttermost: Jesus.

In Acts chapter 8, Simon “The Magician” learns the hard way that the power of God is not a means to an end. Through community and prayer we can keep God enthroned as King of our Life.

Forgiveness is a solo sport. Reconciliation involves multiple people, but choosing to forgive someone comes down to an individual responsibility. Bible Teacher, Steve Carter, takes us into Acts chapter 7 to look at the final actions of a man named Stephen.

Humans complain. It’s what we do! However, did you know there are actually things that we SHOULD complain about? There's even a right way to do it. Bible Teacher, Clay Scroggins, takes us into Acts 6 to point to this very idea!

There is a difference between being "skeptical" and being "cynical". When it comes to the resurrection of Jesus, some of us can find ourselves in a place of skepticism. Founding Pastor, Ken Werlein, introduces us to a man in scripture named Thomas - who wrestled with this very thing!

We often say that church is a place where "it's ok to not be ok". But all of us have been tempted to put on a happy face while hiding the pain, hurt, or brokenness that lies underneath the surface. However, the Bible teaches that deception is the real threat to experiencing freedom found in the Gospel of Jesus.

All of us have a life system upon which we have built. Whether it’s an our career, education, a relationship, our finances, or our faith…we each possess a “cornerstone” that provides the foundation of our identity. Which cornerstone, however, can support the totality of our life? On Super Sunday, Founding Pastor Ken Werlein opens Acts […]

A miraculous story of healing recorded in Acts 3 demonstrated the power of the Holy Spirit while affirming the truth of the Gospel message. But can healing miracles still happen today? Founding Pastor Ken Werlein continues our new series, The Life of Jesus, A.D.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is as profound as it is confusing. Typically, the notion of "being filled by the Spirit" prompts a variety of thoughts and questions: what does it mean? When does it happen? How do I know? As we continue in the Life of Jesus, A.D., Founding Pastor Ken Werlein opens Acts 2 to examine what being filled with the Holy Spirit truly means.
The most mysterious and misunderstood character of the entire Bible is undoubtedly The Holy Spirit. This promised Helper was given to the early church during an astonishing moment recorded in Acts 2, though its purpose and impact was not fully known. Teaching Pastor Dan Slagle helps us understand the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the extraordinary purpose for which it is given.
As we begin our journey through the Book of Acts, Pastor Ken magnifies the meaning of revival in a fallen, broken world. Acts 1 reveals an awakening to the truth of the Gospel, lighting the spark of a holy movement that will change the world.
The Bible defines "faith" as "the assurance of things hoped for." But how can we have such assurance in a world marred by uncertainty, doubt, and the constant failings of our human-made hopes? As we enter 2023, Duffy Robbins offers a fresh perspective with a call to stand firm in the living, unfailing hope of Jesus Christ.
There is a Light that shines in the darkness, and His name is Jesus!Christmas Eve 2022 // Ken Werlein.
Have you ever had an encounter that shifted the priorities of your life? The Bible is full of stories featuring ordinary people living ordinary lives, when an invitation from The Lord would change everything. Worship Pastor Lizi Bailey closes our Life of Jesus series with a look at one of the most critical "yes's" in all of Scripture, when a young woman named Mary surrendered in faith.
What is your perfect Christmas? We often set our expectations higher than a fallen world can meet. And while Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our Savior with family and friends, too often it reminds us of our imperfect circumstances. Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins takes us to the very first Christmas of Luke 1 with a powerful reminder that God is with us and for us, even in the midst of imperfect circumstances.
In Luke 19, a man named Zacchaeus goes out on a limb and receives the invitation of a lifetime. His encounter with Jesus would lead to a dramatic transformation of Zacchaeus' heart, priorities, and purpose. Pastor Ken Werlein continues the Life of Jesus series with a powerful question: have you responded to the invitation of Jesus?
Most of us think about life like a series of unconnected events, but Scripture paints a different, greater picture of our purpose. The life we are living is shaping who we are to become as effective servants for Jesus Christ now – and for eternity!

Is this the end? The world is changing, and now more than ever our understanding of who Jesus is and what He has promised should inform the way we live, love, and wait on the Lord.
In Luke 18, Jesus makes clear the essence of "child-like faith" — a kind of faith that seems harder to come by in our day and age of cynicism and division. As we seek to raise the next generation to be followers of Jesus, we must steward our influence as we model our commitment to Christ.
The Lord's Prayer may be renown, but for many of us, our prayer life looks less like the words of Jesus and more like a chaotic Twitter feed. Bible Teacher Steve Carter takes us back to the basics of prayer - and to the hope we have in our Good Father.
Stewardship is a tricky thing! Or is it? Founding Pastor, Ken Werlein, continues in our Life of Jesus Sermon Series with Luke 16 - and the story of the shrewd manager.
In Luke chapter 15, Jesus shares three stories that illustrate something we all share in common: a state of "lostness." While this state ultimately would separate us from God, the gift of the Father is a lavish love that provides forgiveness and restoration with open arms - no matter how far we run.

While this state ultimately would separate us from God, the gift of the Father is a lavish love that provides forgiveness and restoration with open arms - no matter how far we run.
Does following Jesus interfere with the priorities of your life? In Luke 14, Jesus paints a clear and honest picture: following Him comes with a cost. As we continue in The Life of Jesus series, Founding Pastor Ken Werlein points us to the cost of discipleship — and to the freedom found when we surrender our all to Jesus. Luke 14:25-33.
Jesus was a master at the party-stopping, "mic-dropping" statement. In just a few words, Jesus called into question the motives and priorities of those around Him. In Luke 14, Jesus invites us surrender to "self" by taking part in building a Kingdom marked by love, mercy, and compassion.
Pride can be incredibly easy to spot in other people....it can be incredibly difficult to spot in ourselves. Founding Pastor Ken Werlein continues on to Luke 14 in our Life of Jesus sermon series! Luke 14:7-11.
Dan Slagle // September 4th, 2022 - Grief is hard, and it leaves us asking the question – why? No one is exempt, no one is immune, no one avoids it. So, what do we do when grief moves into the fold? Bible Teacher Dan Slagle gives a vulnerable yet powerful message from Luke 13!
Ken Werlein // August 28th, 2022 - Waiting is never easy, and the longer we wait, the more impatient we can become. When Jesus describes what we call "The Second Coming" in Matthew 12, He gives His followers an ultimate hope we can all look forward to with eager anticipation...but how long must we wait, and how should we live in the waiting? Pastor Ken encourages us to "stay awake" and "stay faithful" as we wait on the Lord.

Pastor Ken encourages us to "stay awake" and "stay faithful" as we wait on the Lord.
Ken Werlein // August 21st, 2022 - "How's your soul?"

Pastor Ken unpacks Luke 8 with a look at four different "hearts" and the kind of soil which offers abundant life in Christ.
Pastor Ken continues the conversation on anxiety and worry, answering questions about spiritual and mental health and additional resources to support them.

Ken Wherein // August 14th, 2022 - For many of us, our daily worries and anxiety prevent us from truly experiencing the "abundant life" found in Christ. In Luke 12, Jesus invites us to cast our worries on Him as we seek first His Kingdom.

Steve Carter // August 7th, 2022 - In such a connected world, we are inundated daily with the apparent picture-perfect lives of others.

Bible Teacher Steve Carter shows us the biblical cure to the challenge of envy.

Scot Pollok // July 24th, 2022 - For many, prayer is intimidating. The message to "pray more" can sound a lot like "eat your vegetables", and the topic frequently brings up guilt, shame, and the inherent belief that our prayer life will always fall short. As Scot Pollok looks to the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11, we'll see that our Good Father doesn't answer prayer based on our strength of intimacy with God - but out of the strength of His character

Duffy Robbins // July 17th, 2022 - It's safe to say, if you had the chance to meet the most important person in the world to you, you probably wouldn't sleep in and miss the opportunity! There may be an area where we're doing just that - and missing the chance to sit at their feet...and listen. Duffy Robbins returns to Faithbridge as we continue in our Life of Jesus Sermon Series!
Liz Bailey // July 10th, 2022 - "Love God, Love People". Surely it's not that simple, right? Shouldn't there be more "theological discussion" or debate? Is there really a much deeper meaning? Lizi Bailey leads us through a refreshing look at a familiar passage of Luke 10 in our continued Sermon Series The Life of Jesus.
Dan Slagle // Sunday, July 3rd - Pastor Dan Slagle returns as we continue in Luke Chapter 9: The Transfiguration of Jesus is a unique story in the life of Jesus.

Where do you go when you're stretched thin? Luke 9 teaches us we can find true rest - and restoration - by trusting fully in Christ.

Desperate times may call for desperate measures, but are you truly desperate for Jesus? Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins opens Luke 8 to examine how our desperation works to deepen our dependence upon Christ. Luke 8:40-56.
Connie Beaver // May 8th 2022 - What is grace, and why does it matter?
